Hi Peter, The hard drive is in the fridge right now, in case it's a heat problem. It's FreeBSD version 4.x. It's getting hard read errors, and I'm using -y with fsck so it will continue on to the next error without prompting from me. The same thing happens whether I use the -y flag or not. It says that certain sectors are bad, moves on to the next bad sectors, and eventually says I need to rerun fsck. It's like "Groundhog Day", I get the same thing over and over and over... Nothing happened since the last boot, I was gzipping up the home folders to transfer to a new server (just in time I guess...) and it started getting really slowly. So I rebooted it from the command line and when it came back up it had problems. It has been restarted a few times in the past week and showed no errors at all before yesterday. It found the same type of errors on the /var partition and dealt with those without problems. So I'm wondering what the difference might be... The /var partition found errors, fixed them, and marked the partition as clean. Maybe I can mount a dirty partition..... I just need the data off it...
